Awards for Kel-Anne

Umina country music singer Kel-Anne Brandt was named Most Popular Independent Female Artist 2011 at the Tamworth Meet 'n' Greet Fans Choice Awards on Thursday, January 20.

Now she has won two Mo awards at a ceremony Petersham RSL Club on Wednesday, February 16, for Best Female Vocal Performer and Best Country Performer.

"It was an amazing feeling!" said Ms Brandt.

"I have been in the Country Music Industry since 1997 and went to my first Tamworth Festival in January 1998.

"So it took 13 years to receive my first Award and to get it in Tamworth was special and even more special was that it was voted on by the fans," she said.

Ms Brandt is currently releasing singles from her album I'm A Big Girl Now and said she is looking forward to her tour of the UK in the next year.

"Singing has always made me feel good.

"Even as a child I would skip around and sing because it brought me such joy.

"I love sharing that joy with others and love it when I am standing on that stage and I see people's faces beaming with happiness.

"It is the best job in the world!" said Ms Brandt.

Ms Brandt has been nominated for nine Mo Awards and five Australian Club Entertainers Awards.
